Graham,

Just to answer your question, the Rosebud script does not help at all since I don’t have the source code.

However, the script is now working with X8 including the camera raw files. Before I upload the new file to Dropbox, tell me what format you will be using for saving your edited camera raw files just to make sure that it is included in the dropdown list of file types.

One final question. Using Photoshop, if I successively edit multiple images, Photoshop remains open and each new file is opened in the original Photoshop window–works the same way in Irfanview. Using Corel X8, each successive file opens a new window, so that if I edit 4 files I will have 4 windows open. Does the Rosebud script work the same way?

Graham,
Just downloaded Corel X8 and I can confirm it doesn’t work. I get error messages saying the file isn’t there. I’m sure it has something to do with the way the command line parameter identifying the image’s file path is defined. Another interesting thing–it reloads the application each time a new file is selected. Does it do the same in OIGE? By the way, the message box shown should only be clicked AFTER the editing is completed and you are back in Vegas. Hopefully, I can get the problem resolved.

Graham,
Just tried raw images with Irfanview and it works fine. Irfanview requires download of a plug-in package to open camera raw images, but after that it works OK. Another thing. Upload one of your CR2 files since all I have is RW2 files from a Panasonic camera. That shouldn’t make any difference, but who knows.

Graham,
As I’ve said in the notes, the only testing I’ve done is with Photoshop–the only editor I have. So exactly what is the script NOT doing? Does it open Corel X8 at all, for example? Does it work OK with JPGs, PSDs, etc? Or does it not work only with CR2s? I can download a free trial of X8 and do some testing if that is your preferred editor? I can also try it with Irfanview. Just let me know your preferred editor. BTW, I’ve never used Skype.

Sounds like it’s rendering in 2 or 4 GB chunks. Check your file sizes. Are they they same? 4GB? Since you are rendering to an external HDD, make sure that it is formatted to NTFS which permits unlimited file sizes. If it’s FAT 32, then you will be limited to 4GB.

I’ve just completed an extension version of the script which also includes a settings GUI. It can be downloaded here.

Paul,

So glad it’s working well for you. And again, thanks for your initial feedback on how to improve the original script.

How can I have my own icon?

Very easy. Just delete the icon I provided and rename yours with the script file name. Should be “Open Stills in Graphic Editor.png” (without the quotation marks, however).

Same place. Just use link in the first post of this thread.

Interesting question. I rather doubt that any DVD/BluRay authoring program such as DVDA or TMPGEnc’s Authoring Works are going to do you much good, since they start with clips and then build the menu part around them. Here is a thread on VideoHelp that may be of use. https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/367733-Putting-multiple-DVD-images-onto-single-Blu-Ray-disc Sounds like someone else was asking the same question. Doesn’t sound too promising.

An easier solution in my view–just use a DVD player that works. Since Blu-ray players also play DVDs, it’s surprising that your new one doesn’t–perhaps that’s the problem. My Sony Blu-ray players have no problem with older DVDs that I’ve burned. In any case, good luck and please share if you find something that works.

if you could make that happen I would worship you to the and of my days.

Be prepared to bow down. LOL. The script has been revised to do what I think you want. There are now three options on line 26. 1 – All files added as a Take (the same as before) 2 – Files added as a take except PSD files. The edited file now replaces the original file on the timeline so that all layers are updated. and 3 – All edited files replace the original file. Give it a try and see if if works for you.
